Chinese landscape refers to the natural scenery found in China, characterized by its diverse topography, including mountains, rivers, and forests. Famous for its picturesque beauty, the landscape often features iconic elements such as karst formations, rice terraces, and bamboo groves. The traditional Chinese landscape painting style, known as shanshui, emphasizes harmony between nature and humanity. Artists use techniques like ink wash to depict serene scenes, often incorporating elements like pagodas and bridges to reflect cultural values and philosophical ideas about nature.
